We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely do not crank the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Long Ashton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill the car.
